My local Best Buy had some cheap Logitechs.  They even had one that was re-packaged in shrink wrap for 1/2 price.

Not sure of the model number, but there's a Saitek that the local megamart carries for 20. It's a twisty evo without the buttons the base.

That's the EVO...runs about $35

The st290 is a non-twist stick.

If that's the one that looks just like an evo, that's what I'm referring to. It was not a model I'd seen before, but it was 4 axis. I didnt catch the model number, as I was in a hurry to replace my alcohol soaked keyboard.
